Maillefer to release a new conical crosshead for MV and HV cable production

Maillefer, the global extrusion expert, is expanding its portfolio, which already consists of over 50 technologies for the wire and cable, pipe, and tube markets.
The newcomer in the Maillefer crosshead family is called THC 50/90, and it's a perfect solution for medium and high-voltage cable production up to 132 KV.
The THC 50/90 features optimized Bi-Flow distributors that allow for achieving accurate wall thickness, centricity, and cable roundness. This device is particularly suitable for long continuous production lengths, making it possible to obtain smooth layer surfaces. Notable highlights include short residence times, streamlined flow channels, and efficient water tempering.
The centering of all layers can be tuned independently. In addition, the nitrided steel composition of the conical flow pieces provides durability and strength, ensuring continuity of production for many years.
The three-layer extrusion crosshead also provides the following benefits:

- precise cable dimensions;
- wide production spectrum;
- easy handling with low risk of damage;
- fast setup times.
Maillefer covers the whole world with 50 local agents and five regional sales and service centers in China, Egypt, India, Russia, and the US.
